I'd drop Kerr first but expecting BMM to play 80min is ridiculous! He can't do and still maintain an acceptable level.
Jack named skipper and back where he belongs. Congrats mate. Good call Carr. FO defer the call on Ryles until we see how our interim coach does for rest of the season. My say above.
Why Chris, stats say otherwise. Kerr is having his best season, averaging over 100m, the massive log MM , a pathetic 64m. He is lazy, clogs our back line. Sack him and pay him out.
He needs time to settle in and develop , Id rather Sloan and Sullivan there , than players that are coming to the end of their playing days ........ Making mistakes will happen , missing tackles will happen , but so do the rest of the team ....... Have to be patient with them , we aint winning anything anything this year ......
Kerr covers the distance between the play the ball and the defence very quickly. We've seen before he's actually quite fast. The issue is that he gets to the defence and just falls over as soon as a finger is laid in him. It's unacceptable and in my view, upsets the morale of the rest of the forwards. Or if it doensn't, it should. Just my view.
Serious? Where can one see those stats? Is he least for average run metres?
I thought Jack was suing them. What happened with that? This is surely grounds to sue again. He's been a hard and very fair player his entire career. Just because a very ill women and corrupt cops "after a big scalp" conspired against doesn't make him "tainted".
..did not check those. NRL stats.
Agree. Weather Sloan plays full back or closer in he has to be persevered with as he will win us more games than he will lose us. Ditto Amone, where ever he plays. Sully looks a natural half but needs further work on his ball skills. I was encouraged by a play he made in a recent Ressie game when he held up his pass then cleverly put Max Feagai into a yawning gap for a run away try.
How much patience do you have with Sloan and Amone? I'm almost done with both. I understand especially Sloan wasn't playing for the old coach but last week was his worst game yet! That raised alarm bells for me more than anything else.
Lets just give him a bit more time , then we will know for sure .......
Seems to me the biggest beef from some on here is his lack of desire to have the ball in his hands. I dont believe that is the case as he can be often seen sniffing round the ball carrier. The kid wants the leather in his hands as he knows he possesses ball skills. Surely so do our coaches so is up to them to relay to our halves and hooker to give him more ball when he comes sniffing.
Agree , my biggest concern with him , and it can be fixed , is to stop surrendering in tackles , and getting pushed back , needs to go hard into the tackle then to ground .......
